I think last week was the most coverage we’ve ever given Justin Bieber. He’s been on the verge of a total childlike temper tantrum for a while, but it all seemed to come to a head last week in London, where Justin was camped out to perform at four sold-out concerts. The week was full of drama, what with Justin’s “collapse,” hospitalization, Twitter meltdown, showing up hours late to one of the concerts, and on and on – go to the Bieber tagged posts to review. As I wrote yesterday, it seemed like Bieber spent the weekend “getting better” and he was tweeting about being “blessed” because of course. And now comes word that Justin has canceled yet another concert:

Justin Bieber is canceling one of his two scheduled shows this week in Portugal “due to unforeseen circumstances” … this according to the website for the venue.

Bieber is scheduled to play the Pavilhao Atlantico in Lisbon on March 11 and March 12, but the site now says the second show is canceled.

A statement posted on the site (and translated thanks to the good folks at Google) reads, “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Justin Bieber was forced to cancel the second performance in Portugal, March 12.”

It continues, “The Canadian singer is eager to play for the Portuguese fans on March 11. Holders of tickets valid for March 12 should contact the respective place of purchase to receive a refund within 30 days of the date of the scheduled concert, which ends April 11.”

It’s unclear what the unforeseen circumstances are, but he was hospitalized last week after collapsing backstage (though that wouldn’t explain why he’s canceling the SECOND show).

The UK papers claim that Bieber canceled the concert because of low ticket sales and because Justin has never gotten so much bad press in his life as he did this past week. But! Justin’s manager Scooter Braun told Gossip Cop that the concert was canceled “due to logistical problems with the unions” – meaning that Bieber’s stage couldn’t be taken down quickly enough in London and brought to Portugal. Braun also told Gossip Cop, “The British tabloids are full of sh*t.” O RLY?! Excuse me if I don’t believe Baby Bieber’s mouthpiece (a man named Scooter!) when Justin has been all over the map lately, and it wouldn’t be impossible to consider that a concert was canceled just because Justin is a tantrumy baby who doesn’t give a crap.

Also – Us Weekly had a bizarre explanatory story about why Justin was wandering around London wearing a gas mask. According to sources, “The gas mask Justin has been wearing around London is a joke between his friends, but people are starting to take it seriously… Justin’s close friend Julian Keyz (a young songwriter/producer also known as Julkeys) also wears it to pretend he’s Justin and throw people off as they’re the same height. All his friends take turns wearing it as a joke to throw off the paparazzi. It’s not a serious thing, they’re just having fun around London with it.” Hey, remember when Britney Spears used to wander around LA in busted wiglets, speaking in a fake British accent? That’s what this reminded me of.

i sent my pre teen niece and nephew an email surprise, i wrote about this ‘serious’ confrontation biebs had with the paps and how fighting/violence is never the answer (moral for the youngn’s..)

then i attached this picture (!!!) and they passed out w/ laughter, THEY have ALWAYS hated bieber….i love them.

Now justin cries about ‘the hate’ but it’s a simple explanation biebs. Like Lilo, if you start to treat ALL people like s****t, even the public (you n’ me) that you don’t even know, people are eventually get tired and start hating you back.

it’s simple, the public doesn’t appreciate being treated as if their oblivious dumbsh**ts. Which you do. Appreciate what you have, cuz A LOT of Americans DON’T have your wealth much less a JOB! and that’s why we HATE on you.

Drugs? Quite possible but I’ve seen it suggested elsewhere maybe it’s something like steroids? It makes a certain sense, not a hard street drug (so The Lord is probably OK with it ) and you’ve got a full of himself little douche who I would guess is done growing (what is he 18? 19?). Maybe trying to act and look like a “big man”?

I don’t think that I’ve ever heard a Beiber song and have always found the hype surrounding him to be annoying. Still he was just a harmless teeny-bopper-of-the-moment.
The thing about him that garners my sympathy is all the snark about his size. I mean growing up is hard for everyone and undoubtedly more difficult in the public eye. His physical size though is something that he literally can’t help.
As for his current behavior, just sad, pathetic and disgusting. I put it down to really bad influences and way too many ass-kissers along the way. Somebody, parents or someone he looks up to, should sit this kid down and tell it to him straight. He is embarrassing himself and there is absolutely no need for it. He should have been more prepared for the inevitable fall in popularity by someone.
Yeah, I don’t like him but just some thoughts.

Me too @Amelia. Even before reading any comments I thought he looked like a child getting put in or out of his car seat. The best part is he thought he would come out looking tough. He will never life this toddler photo down. I can’t stand entitled brats.

Here’s an idea for a reality tv show…throw Beiber, Lilo, Amanda Bynes and Shia La Douche in a locked room with unlimited booze, a switchblade and a million cameras and let them go Lord of the Flies on each other. It’ll be entertainment gold.

He looks so stupid in that last picture, acting all tough but wearing that hat and with his pants pulled down. Remember that song? “Acting like a fool with your pants on the ground.”

Also, look for a picture of the guy he wanted to fight. He’s this thick, big, tall, bald, tough Bristol guy. Bieber is so full oh sht. He knew his bodyguard would step in and make it seem like he was being stopped. No way his sorry ass would legit try to fight that man.

First of all, pull up your damn pants. Secondly, quit acting like a spoiled little bitch. He has a ton of money, for running around a stage and lip singing, like the turd he is. He has been made to believe that he’s special, when in fact he’s a teenyboper. They are a dime a dozen. . And a majority take a nosedive, lose there money, and end up on a vh1 show.

Yes, teeny boppers are a dime a dozen and I’d hope the majority of them would behave better than Bieber has. A modicum of humility or gratefulness for all that he has been given would be refreshing. An insincere tweet about being blessed isn’t enough.

I had my share of teeny bopper crushes when I was young but I’m pretty sure Shaun Cassidy and the Bay City Rollers weren’t nearly as insufferable!

I’m sure if they had been living in the Age of the Internet and constant exposure we would have seen more warts. Tiger Beat was a great filter!

Edit to add: OMG! I just googled Tiger Beat covers from the 1970s and boy were those innocent days! The Hardy Boys, The Partridge Family, Brady Bunch, Donny Osmand and Puppy Love, The Monkeys… What a great time to be a kid! So different from today.

OMG, me, too! I’ve looked them up online and they are just sad, sad, sad now. And middle-aged women are following the two different groups around and so they are still getting groupie ass, even if it is sagging-tit groupie ass.

I redeem myself from a respite as a fan of theirs with the fact that for most of my childhood (and teen years and current adulthood, actually) I was perfectly faithful to Roger Daltrey from The Who.

it should explain why shows are so expensive… maybe they rotate sets. I am sure this was done with looks at the finances as well (maybe the second show was not completely sold out and was not worth bring stage to lisbon only to be late and then taking it to another destination. that, coupled with the economic issues there, totally not surprised).

not a justin fan at all and love the snark but this glee in seeing him fall apart is a little bit off. i remeber people felt the same way about britney too. (this is of course, not the same, the kid is a kid and will ACT like one for a long time). and i was watching like, that girl, there’s something clinically wrong and that ain’t funny. but the internet laughed away.

Re : problems with getting stage down in London in time to set up in Portugal, Scooter?
If that was the case (i.e. not enough time to move the set and get it to P.), then 1st show would have been canceled, not 2nd show. So my vote goes to low ticket sales for $400, Alex.

I honestly hope this immature brat does not place foot in my country for any of the concerts.

The stage could not be taken down quickly enough in London to be brought to Portugal and geniuses that they are, they decided to cancel the date for the second concert, after the stage will be totally set up for the first concert…
I hope they cancel them altogether.

The two final pictures show him in all his glory. Ass-hanging, tantrum-throwing brat who needs people to carry and coddle him.

Yea, Scooter’s (ugh I can’t with that name!) excuse doesn’t make any sense. If they are canceling the 2nd show, wouldn’t that mean that the stage would already be up for the 1st show. I’m confused. Is it at another venue?

Sounds like Baby Bieber is having a meltdown. Lol. He is such a brat and has no talent. I am really enjoying that last photo of him being put in the car! Haha how apropos! I’m paraphrasing here, but nobody puts Bieber in the car (corner). Ha.

He has all these enables around him allowing him to do anything he wants. This will not end well. #trainwreck#

THOSE pics of him bein airlifted into th e car should reccieve some kind of photography award for capturing bieb’s doucheness,reality of him really being just a baby and not a super star ,awesome bodyguard ,great action and unexpected drama AH,wonder why he is spiralling down i guess he is under pressure frm record for hits and grammy noms

“Scooter Braun told Gossip Cop that the concert was canceled “due to logistical problems with the unions” – meaning that Bieber’s stage couldn’t be taken down quickly enough in London and brought to Portugal” – if this is true then why cancel the 2nd concert and not the first one. Makes no sense at all.

I really want to know what’s going on with him this past week. I know he’s an entitled young brat, sure, but his past actions didn’t compare to everything that happened lately. Everything is just so weird.

which just shows that the whole “second show cancelled due to the stage not being here” is BS. Not that I care, the country is in dire straights, and having tweens begging their broke parents to go to a justin Bieber concert? UGH

The problem with teaching these little dears the God has blessed their careers is that it’s brutal when things start going down hill. Instead of understanding that you take the good with the bad, sometimes you’re doing well, sometimes you screw up…what’s their fallback? God wants me here! Nothing I’m doing can be wrong, God blessed me! It’s crap like this that gives religious folks a bad name. God gave you free will Justin, take some responsibility!

I know Scootet personally. He IS the mega douche that we all think he is. They are all enablers. At this point, I am watching and waiting for it to unfold and praying for Justin. He used to be a really good kid.

It’s almost over. How many tweeny heartthrobs ever made it past their tender youth to continue to be big stars, outside of Michael Jackson? Love him or hate him as a person, Jackson had a heap of talent that transcended the tastes of only one generation. I can’t name a single adult who thinks the Baby Biebs’s music is all that, or even somewhat tolerable.

I agree with @MissM., who is from Portugal. He was set for two concerts. Because of not selling well, they cancelled the second show. They can go to the other show on their ticket. So it was cancelled for low sales, not a meltdown. And there was, obviously, low sales at the first show too if the other ticketholders can go to that one.

Portugal isn’t in a good place, finance-wise, not that it was good before, but I wish it were lack of interest instead of charging european-priced ticked to portuguese income earners. As someone said, min wage is about 500 euros, before taxes (and all income is taxable)

Pull up your pants, stop whining and do your job. Yes, your job. You are paid to perform, much like a trained lip-syncing monkey. So, get out there, smile and give your elementary school fan base what they paid for.

If everyone here remembers Leif Erickson, I really think Justin’s path is going to be a very similar one. I really think Justin’s 15 minutes are coming to an end. In reality he is a child who never had Disney or Nickelodeon help prepare him for the enormous burden of fame. While both still exploit their young stars, I do understand why they (Disney, especially) have the strict rules in place that they do. It
Prepares their stars for life under the spotlight. Many can argue that those still may not be successful examples ( side-eye to LiLo) but I also think it depends on the personality of the star. Bieber is going to be in a world of hurt for the rest of his life and I don’t think there is any way to help him.

Yeah. I was thinking about Erikson earlier in this thread. He at least theoretically had what it took to transition into the adult world but drugs got him first.

I can’t see this kid ever really having a future as an adult performer. Young girls might find him dreamy but adult women (and men) laugh at him. New Kids on the Block had a better chance and look at them now (if you can find them…).

wait, are you talking about the 70′s heart-throb Leif Garrett? Cuz yeah, he had the EXACT same path – total musical success, was a heart-throb with the young girls and then as soon he made it to his 20′s, he crashed and burned with drugs and alcohol (plus he wasn’t pretty anymore). He ended up crashing his car and killing his buddy in the passenger seat and scarring his face pretty badly. Until a few years ago, he was still battling drugs but I think he’s clean and sober now.

OMG. Yes, I meant Leif Garrett. Sorry, when I wrote this I hadn’t quite woken up yet (I live on the West Coast) and had watched that new show Vikings on the History channel the night before and was discussing the show on another board and writing about Bieber at the same time. Btw, if you haven’t seen it yet watch Vikings on The History Channel.

The “putting baby in his seat” comment is soooo funny and fits perfectly.

The only thing that bothers me about the comment is that he will probably blame the body guard and fire him instead of thanking him for keeping him from making an even bigger fool of himself or getting a beat down.

I guess I am not understanding exactly what they are talking about when his manager said:

>>the concert was canceled “due to logistical problems with the unions” – meaning that Bieber’s stage couldn’t be taken down quickly enough in London and brought to Portugal.<<

If Bieber Baby is still going to perform on March 11, then the stage clearly was set up in time for the March 12 show.

Too much success and wealth has gotten into his head … that it turned him into a little tyrant. Selena’s youtube video, esp the lyrics of the music that she danced to, is really a good reply, message and description of his drama. It is as if she is calling him out for his bad behavior.
